I saw a lot of butterflies over the last few days. They are so beautiful and graceful. Here is a simple poem I wrote while reflecting on the butterfly. 

Beauty and colour
Wings to fly
Delicate and light
Up so high

No more crawling
Out of the cocoon
Brand new life
The old is a tomb

Free to float
Carried by wind
Gentle flutter
Freedom begins

Off to explore
Curiosity beckons
Nothing mundane
Thankful, good heavens

The past is gone
A distant memory
Dark cold days
Felt like a cemetery

Now there’s light
Fresh air abounds
Breath it all in
Hear the sounds

Life is a gift
A moment to breathe
Take it all in
Before you must leave

A wonderful world
Amazing universe
A plethora of life
All so diverse

Feel the joy
Embrace the delight
Share the love
Be the light

Butterfly
